Helloooo, bloggidy bloggers. Guess where this blog is coming from?!? Yeeess, back home again, instead of the Sweetest Place on Earth! Well, technically, we never did sleep at Hershey; our hotel was in Harrisburg. But that's not a big difference. :P
So, today was our last day out frolicking about. =( It was an excellent day nonetheless!! We went to the Susquehanna river, and walked about Harrisburg to find the State Capitol building.and afterwards, drove to eat some Thai food. (: Real good stuff. We had to cross a pedestrian bridge (meaning, no cars. Only bikes, carriages, people, etc.) and it was like, iron gridwork, so as you walked across the bridge, you literally see the water rushing below your feet. It was a great experience but totally nerve-racking. You get used to it after awhile, and then you appreciate the typical I-am-standing-on-a-bridge-but-with-the-moving-water-it-feels-like-I-am-on-a-ship kinda feeling. And there were hugeee chunks of ice in the water as well. It was so beautiful, to see the huge river. Being in nature truly makes you feel small, appreciate the bigger picture, and just more open-minded in general.
And then we got some architectural beauty, courtesy of the Pennsylvania State Capitol Complex. I seriously did not expect such...beautyyyyyy when my parents and my sister and I were walking about trying to find that white domed building. You walk in, not expecting much, go through security, and immediately you're just like, WOAH! And then for like the next hour that you're there you're constantly noticing little things that did not quite catch your eye the first time. The more you look, the more you find. It's incredible, inspiring, amazing. Really.
Anyways, afterwards, we wandered about taking some pictures. Then, we left to drive to a Thai restaurant (darn 4th grade spelling bee word that I spelled wrong!!) and ordered some yummy yummy ommy nommy food, such aaaaas, fried rice with huge shrimp, spicy noodles/beef, fish, rice, an amazing strawberry smoothie boba drink. (For those confused, boba drinks are drinks with little "bubble"ish jelly stuff. so. good.) Anyways I'm making myself hungry. :P We then went shopping since the restaurant was located with different stores and stuff inside a complex. After that, the long drive home. (That felt much shorter since I was asleep oh, half of the time. and since rides home just seem shorter in general.) Anyways, I came home, watched Polar Express with my sis, and ate an uber late dinner, and here I am now!! Good night guys. =) The New Year's comin' up! Ain't that something??? <3
